Fantabulous Nanomorphique Adventure of M Hardoon Rotman - (Week 10)

[Previous Week Plot Review]

Invisible Rohardoon quickly descended to the rotunda and retrieved the Jade Cong without any difficulty, then immediately headed for the basement for the Amethyst.

Meanwhile in her basement office, Catherine and her daughter were facing their worst nightmare!

Hurried out of the fire exit stairs and ran toward Catherine’s office, Rohardoon was just in time to see one of the ninja extended his hand to grab the amethyst.

Without thinking, Rohardoon pointed the Jade Cong he retrieved at the amethyst. The amethyst flew over and attached itself to the Jade Cong.

Because the invisible Rohardoon was standing right in front of the mural, so what the other people saw was the amethyst flew into the mural and disappeared completely.

FIVE – “The figures in the painting are moving!”    – Continue  < Week X >

Cassandra, who also witnessed the vanishing of the blinking eye, sensed the presence of Rohadoon, as she discern the transparent human silhouette in front of the mural!

Rohardoon was running up and down the corridors and stairs, so his body had gradually changed from invisible to transparent. This transparency acted as a huge magnifying glass; so as Rohardoon moved swiftly across the mural, the optical effect thus put the characters of the entire picture in a sequential animation.

Presently Cassandra perceived that Rohardoon was heading back for the Fire Exit, she ran after him.

Catherine called out and ran after her daughter: "Cass … come back!"

A Ninja immediately grabbed her arm. Catherine vigorously struggled and pulled herself away and ran after her daughter.

Another ninja with a mighty Kung Fu Feat leaped up and “flew” over towards Cassandra; with an extended arm the flying Ninja clearly targeted at Casandra’s ponytail.

Without mistake, it was the signature fighting skill of Japanese Ninja House of “Butterfly Armour.” The hand, in their most famous “Cloud Pinching” gesture, reached out so gracefully yet with lethal precision! The result would be grave if not deadly, if the elegant fingers did pinch the ponytail, Cassandra would be pulled up off the ground and swung backwards into the other Ninja’s waiting catch.

Just as these lethal fingers so close of touching Cassandra’s ponytail, suddenly a translucent silhouette of a human foot kicked up in the air and stamped on the Ninja’s left shoulder and knocked the Ninja backwards flying.

In turn this backward flying Ninja clashed with the Ninja who was chasing after Catherine and both hit the ground hard.

Catherine encircled Cassandra with her arms.

But now the third Ninja leaped up and flew over trying to detain the mother and daughter. Again, the third ninja was knocked over in the same fashion, and flew backwards into the other two and all three fell to the ground one more time.

Rohardoon quickly dragged the mother and daughter into the freight elevator. He pressed the 3rd floor button, but the closing door was block by one of the Ninja trying to get in. Rohardoon hit him in the face. The elevator started to climb.

At close range Catherine saw the translucent human figure, she became very pale, clutched her daughter tightly, and faintly asked: "Who … who are you?"

Rohardoon responded her with a big smile. His business here was almost over, and soon he would be able to tell Oldman mission accomplished!

The Oldman instructed him that after he retrieved those two objects, he was to go to the 3^rd floor roof top, and would find proper means of transportation to go back home. In his mind, the Oldman probably chartered a helicopter, and very possibly at this moment the Oldman was even waiting for him on the roof top.

The elevator suddenly stopped on the first floor, the door opened, no one outside. Catherine and Cassandra moved themselves further back. Rohardoon pushed the third floor button.

To reach the 3^rd floor roof top, the direct way was through the fire exit. Rohardoon’s using of the freight elevator was actually for the protection of the mother and daughter. He intended to escort them first to the security control room on the 3rd floor. But now the elevator was stuck on the first floor, the only way to get to the control room was through the spiral stair case.

Not realize that he was completely invisible now, he signaled the mother and daughter to follow him.

Surely enough, Cassandra responded to his beckon right away, she released herself from her mother’s arms, and let Rohardoon take her hand.  Right at that moment, the amethyst that was still attached to Rohardoon's newt suit, flashed twice, as if winking at Cassandra.
